Fun-Plex, the largest waterpark in the state, is located in the heart of Omaha. It offers water rides, a roller coaster, miniature golf, arcade games, and rides for all ages. Boulder Creek Amusement Park offers two 18-hole miniature golf courses, Nebraska’s largest outdoor batting cage, a 24-foot outdoor rock climbing wall, a roller skating rink, and a 1,200-square-foot faux hedge maze that patrons must get through blindfolded. People flock to theme parks for entertainment and an adrenaline rush, but accidents can happen, particularly when park owners fail to maintain their equipment.

What Is Premises Liability Law?

Premises liability is a legal responsibility imposed on property owners and occupiers for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their property. Like other property owners in Nebraska, amusement park owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors. When they fail to repair or remove hazards or defects in a reasonable length of time and fail to adequately warn of the danger, they may be held financially liable if someone is injured as a result.

Types of Amusement Park Accidents

Accidents and injuries are common at amusement parks because of high-speed and elevated rides and other factors. Common types of amusement park injuries include:

• Slip or trip-and-falls: Spilled liquids, ice, food waste, and garbage can cause slippery surfaces in walkways at amusement parks. Guests who are unaware of the danger can slip and fall, suffering serious injuries. Cords, wires, uneven ground, cracked pavement, and other hazards can cause theme park patrons to trip and fall.
• Ride malfunction: Amusement park rides must be regularly inspected, maintained, and repaired. When amusement park owners fail in their duty, rides can malfunction, damage limbs, or throw patrons off the ride.
• Negligent security: Operators of amusement parks must provide adequate lighting in parking lots and isolated areas and take the necessary steps to protect patrons from foreseeable criminal acts of others. An amusement park may be responsible if a patron becomes a victim of a violent attack on the premises.
• Equipment failure: When amusement park equipment fails, it can be catastrophic for visitors. For example, when a roller coaster derailed at an amusement park in Florida in 2018, two of the riders fell to the ground, suffering serious injuries. Of the 10 passengers on the ride when it derailed, six were injured.
